Mom's Tree Trimming Party

What a lousy group of pictures I came home with- good thing Miranda is so cute!

This Is What Happens Without The Home Oven Advantage

No more cooking while on the phone!!

We ate at The House Of Blues on one of our nights in Orlando. My Thai chicken salad was gross, but the atmosphere was nice. This area reminded me a lot of Citywalk or The Block- didn't really feel like another state.

A Very Expensive Letter

It snowed, and rained, and snowed, and rained today- in that order. What a mess. By 4:00 I was tired of being inside, and remembering the notice in my mailbox for a letter with postage due, I decided to walk to the post office even though the weather was...uh...inclement. I suited up with my down jacket, Norwegian wool hat, and umbrella. It was not a nice day for a walk, but it only takes fifteen minutes to get to town and back. Near the second stop sign I scowled at a truck that did not slow to my satisfaction as it passed me. It sent mist spraying a bit too close to my new GAP trouser jeans that I had carefully tucked into my hiking boots. There were more cars coming as I crossed near Country Farms, so I made my way over to the sidewalk that begins at Village Market. I laughed out loud at the umbrella I held to protect me from the drizzle once I found myself up to my knees in freezing slush. I don't know how I didn't realize it, but all of the water gushing across the street was funneling under the snowplow's berm that I thought I could quickly pass over.






I finished my errand with some previously lacking abandon. I swam on to the center of town and left puddles on the floor of the post office as I collected my mail. It was, as I'd suspected, a Christmas card that had evaded its stamping.



Usually when I walk in the snow, drivers all along the way slow down to offer me a ride. Not this time. Maybe it was the sopping wet/ hysterical laughter combo that kept all cars in motion.

Three days ago I was lounging in a hammock by Floridian waters. Today, it's snowing in California, and I am oh-so-sad.

Sarah and I are trading the Golden State for the Sunshine State for a few days- Orlando here we come! We leave at 12:55 a.m. I'm off to find a quart-sized Ziplock...
